I'll never open-carry in town or in a metro area. I think you're just looking for trouble and/or a confrontation.

I'll be honest I usually OC, and really haven't seen anyone else do it around here. Springs, Fountain, Pueblo and never had issues. I was at APEX in colorado springs and some cops came in shopping for motorcycle stuff and left me alone even though it was obvious they knew I was carrying. As long as you're respecting the law, and in the case of OC keeping your firearm holstered there shouldn't ever be an issue with the law.

I see "this" topic has hit the threads again.
I have to agree with Sneakerd and TheInternet. I don't like to make it that obvious that I have a firearm on my hip. You mentioned you are too "cheap" to buy an OWB CC holster...really? There is a guy on the forums here that makes some pretty kick ass holsters for $55. I'm sure you spent atleast that on your IWB. Or, you can always go with an inexpensive Fobus holster ($26 average) or Uncle Mikes Kydex ($25 - $30).
Or...everyone here mail this guy $2 bucks and that should get you half-way there.
I "get it" why people want to open carry...but what I dont get, is why draw unneeded attention? Chances are you'll scare some tree-hugging, hippie liberal who will shit a chicken when they see your firearm who will then call police screaming, "THERE'S A MAN WITH A GUN!" Way I see it...only bad things can happen from there![]()
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
But Alex, I thought your part of town was soooo safe!

Now you're just being paranoid. I'm sure the old black lady sitting in her rocker on the porch next door would watch your stuff for you in between trips!
